  1. How long is an Arkansas notary public's commission term, which sets the timeframe records and seal information must reflect?

    Answer: Ten years

  2. An Arkansas notary legally changes their name. What must they do regarding their commission records?

    Answer: Notify the Secretary of State and update their commission information as required

  5. An employer demands to keep a departing employee-notary's journal containing entries for company documents. What should the notary do?

  6. What should an Arkansas notary do with their official seal when their commission expires and is not renewed?
